Magento 2 The Right Time to Move?

Why should you upgrade to Magento 2.x?

ScalabilityMagento 2.x can manage 10 million catalogue page views an hour compared to only 500,000 page views per hour as supported by the Magento CE 1.9 or Magento Enterprise 1.14 platform.

Improved InterfaceThe new admin interface in Magento 2.x has a fluidic and interactive design which is more user-friendly than Magento 1.9

There are several benefits including new functional features and security improvements in Magento 2.x. Many new features come out of the box, that means you do not need to purchase a third party plug-in or extension for that feature. For example: Color Swatches product feature that allows user to select specific product color. This feature comes with Magento 2.x and many more…

The ChallengeMagento 2 is totally refreshed from version 1 and based on latest technologies. So moving from Magento 1.x to 2.x is a migration process, not an upgrade because the database schema changes so much. If your website is already live, you require a proper planning and strategy before upgrading your site.

Migration to Magento 2 involves four components: data, extensions, themes, and customizations. We have a team of experts to perform Magento upgrade using special methods and techniques to reduce merchant’s cost for the upgrade project. We use data migration tool and composer to perform the upgrade seamlessly so that all the data are intact.

Composer (Application Package manager) allows you to save time and effort and avoid verifying each extension for compatibility for further Magento upgrades in future. It reduces the risk and makes upgrading to newer versions of Magento much faster.
